In the north of Iraq, 8 PKK terrorists are neutralized, the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey reports.
The militants are neutralized in the Khaftanin area and the Pençe-Kielit operation zone, the department said.
The Turkish Ministry of Defense emphasized the determination to continue the effective fight against terrorism.
Since 2016, Ankara has conducted three successful operations in order to eliminate the threat of terrorism at its southern borders and ensure the safety of the local population. In particular, we are talking about the operations “Shield of the Euphrates” (2016), “olive branch” (2018) and “Source of the World” (2019), which were held by the Turkish Armed Forces in the north of Syria.
RKK, over the years of its bloody terrorist activity against Turkey, is responsible for the death of more than 40 thousand people, including women, children and babies.
The United States and the European Union introduced RKK to the lists of terrorist organizations.
In recent years, the RSC seeks to shift responsibility for its bloody crimes in the region to its branches.
In Syria, the RKK terrorists are covered by the names Pyd and YPG, and in the past few years they call themselves “Syrian democratic forces.” In Iran, the RSC acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
